Redux and NgRx forms for optimizing form state management

Have you ever wondered if keeping the form state in Redux makes any sense? In programming, it is often said that the main questions can be answered with the famous phrase, "it depends." Based on my experience, I would agree: the answer truly depends on the specific situation. However, I would like to present and describe certain cases in which it is worth implementing the form state with NgRx forms. Additionally, I will highlight cases that are not worth implementing and provide a bonus solution, though a highly adverse one.

SmartNIC vs. NIC: what is the difference?

Our everyday life is full of networking devices and applications. When we video conference at work or watch a new movie on a streaming service at home, we barely even think about how much data needs to be transferred to ensure their correct function. We use our mobile devices with high-speed Internet access and take that for granted. But underneath the efficient work of online applications lies the stable functioning of enormous data centers and telecommunication infrastructure. Since the amount of data that needs to be processed grows every day, we keep demanding more and more processing capabilities from the networking infrastructure.

Golang code refactoring: Best practices and a practical use case

Anyone working as a software engineer has experienced diving into existing code written by another person or team. Despite many articles, courses, and blog posts that emphasize the need to write clean and tested code, the reality never really lives up to the idealistic picture presented to us. Inexperience and deadlines, among many other reasons, can leave code repositories with suboptimal documentation, resulting in a constant need for refactoring and a growing to-do list. In this blog post, I would like to invite you to take a peek at the ongoing development of one such repository my team has inherited.

What is micro-frontend architecture? A comprehensive overview

Modern customers have more requirements for a web app than ever before. With the wide choice of mobile and web applications that exists today, it is not enough for an application to simply fulfill its functions as advertised. It also has to be highly available, scalable, and fast, and updates and new features have to come out regularly, and without a hitch. For quite some time already, creating a successful modern web application has meant overcoming the limitations of a monolithic backend. One of the most popular approaches for that is using microservices for your backend development.

Trunk-based development: best practices and strategies

All development teams strive for an agile, flexible, and efficient software development process. There are many ways to achieve it. Trunk-based development is one of the more modern approaches that is gaining attention. Let’s take a closer look at what it is, how it works, and what benefits it can bring your team. Trunk-based development is a management practice. It is a source-control branching model focusing on a single branch of code called the trunk. Trunk-based development aims to keep the trunk ready for deployment at all times.

Platform engineering — everything you need to know

As the popularity of cloud-native applications rises steadily, software development becomes a more and more complex process. With multiple smaller autonomous teams working on separate components of your application, where each team often has a different tech stack, an isolated codebase, and even separate release procedures, it is not surprising that the amount of overhead snowballs too. Modern DevOps best practices like containerization, automated continuous deployment, infrastructure as code, and others allow developers to shorten the release cycle and develop cloud-native applications in any type of cloud environment, using complex architectures, especially those based on microservices.

Reliability engineering — its significance and key principles

Choosing a product or a service to buy is a complex process. Your own tastes play an important role, of course, but very often product reliability is what impacts your decision most of all. It is especially important when you are looking at something that can potentially serve you for many years to come. Nobody likes spending a ton of money on a device that works right now but will fail in a couple of months. However, we can all agree that nothing lasts forever. Any product or system can fail, which is why warranties exist.

Projects in Remix: best practices and lessons learned

Remix is a popular React framework, often used for its ease and speed of development for web applications. However, just like any technology, it has its shortcomings. They are not visible at first sight - you might come across them only once you’ve started a project using this technology. In this article, an experienced developer shares his mistakes to avoid and best practices to follow while working on web applications in Remix. Remix is a React-based frontend framework curated by React ecosystem veterans.

Navigating the module maze: history of JavaScript module systems

JavaScript was designed to handle uncomplicated scripting tasks that we know from everyday life - handling events, updating content, etc. However, nowadays we write huge and complex apps in JS. This distinction between initial design and current usage is a root cause of a lot of frustration in the JS community. Let’s look at one of these causes of frustration and confusion: modules. Modules were one of those topics which I've never felt like I fully grasped. I knew about ESM and CJS, the differences between them, and some history.

CSS vs. SCSS variables — main differences and use cases

This isn't going to be an article about the latest hot new feature. Both CSS and SCSS variables have been around for a long time. SCSS introduced variables in version 2.0 of SASS, released in 2010, and in CSS you’ve been able to use them since CSS3, all the way back in 1999. That being said, these are still powerful tools that can be used to complement each other. Let's talk about the similarities, differences and possible use cases. CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. It is a scripting language used to design and style web pages.
